View in browser | Latest Sea Angling News from the Angling Trust Your Sea News Update May 2022 Sea Anglers, Clubs & Skippers Encouraged to Apply for £6 Million A Year Fund The recreational sea angling community is among those applicable to funding under the Fisheries and Seafood Scheme which has earmarked £18 million over the next three years for England’s seafood sector. READ MORE Recreational Sea Anglers Overlooked in the Joint Fisheries Statement Say Angling Bodies Within the draft Joint Fisheries Statement, the government has missed opportunities to capitalise on the economic and social benefits sea angling can deliver. This undermines commitments set out in the Fisheries Act (2020) for the sector and adds to the ongoing marginalisation of sea angling interests and their benefit to society and the economy. The Angling Trust responded to the consultation. READ MORE Angling Trust Respond to Sussex IFCA Hand Gathering Consultation The Angling Trust has responded to the recent consultation held by Sussex IFCA on their proposed Hand Gathering Byelaw. We believe the current byelaw, as it is drafted, is not fit for purpose, would disproportionately disadvantage recreational anglers in the area and is largely unenforceable. READ MORE Angling Trust launch survey to gather views on litter pollution The Angling Trust are calling on anglers to submit their opinion on litter and what they feel should be the priority for action. The survey is completely anonymous and should take around 10 minutes to complete. GET INVOLVED Bottom trawling banned in four offshore marine protected areas Damaging fishing activity will be prohibited in four offshore marine protected areas (MPAs) from the 13th of June 2022 after an extensive consultation period and scientific evidence pinpointing bottom-towed gear as a leading cause of biodiversity declines. The Angling Trust welcomes this decision as part of the government’s strategy to recover our seas and create a World Class Fishery that supports people and biodiversity sustainably.

Sign up for the diary today Angling Trust Sea Angling Regional Voluntary Group (RVG) The group met recently for a third time and can positively report they have membership covering all IFCA-geographic areas of England as well as the Midlands. All were reminded of the need to support the ongoing FaSS scheme funded work on the line recycling scheme and to encourage clubs who want to get involved. The contact at the Angling Trust is: tom.humphreys@anglingtrust.net The group identified the need to identify training for sea anglers using sea kayaks and this is being progressed and regional members were able to provide updates on cases where they have been supporting local sea anglers and clubs on at Noses Point in County Durham and at Portsmouth Dockyard. The importance of the DEFRA/MMO managed Joint Fisheries Statement consultation was discussed and all agreed that sea anglers needed to respond. A series of consultation meetings, in fishing ports, were not seen as providing anglers the best opportunity to take part and that DEFRA/MMO should be asked to host an online meeting with the RVG and the Angling Trust Marine Advisory Group. When later approached they agreed, and an online meeting was hosted on 5th April. Rod Giles, a member of the RVG, representing Wessex attended and commented afterwards, ‘This meeting highlighted the need for DEFRA and the MMO to communicate with recreational sea anglers and showed the strengths of the members on the RVG and the MAG with very constructive and positive views put forward. I think this very positive meeting highlighted the importance of the group and demonstrates the way that the Angling Trust is moving forward in the way that it represents and is giving a voice to recreational sea angling’. JOIN THE ANGLING TRUST Neil Bryant Steps Down from Angling Trust National Sea Boat Angling Selection Committee After 16 years working with Brian Owen on the Angling Trust National Sea Boat angling Selection Committee he is now standing down.
